THE ORBIS METHOD

Never off the shelf:
built from scratch & around you

1

Original materials

I don't teach from a generic textbook. All study materials are designed and made by me, so every part has a clear purpose and fits into the bigger picture.

2

A system that makes sense

Grammar, vocabulary and skills aren’t separate subjects: everything connects. You see the patterns, understand how they work and learn to use the language as a whole.

3

Language in context

Lessons revolve around real-life situations: at the supermarket, buying tickets, eating out, at work, at the doctor, when you need your bike repaired, or simply talking to people around you.

4

Full, personalised attention

Think of it as a personal trainer for language: someone watching what you’re doing, correcting you on the spot, pushing you and adjusting the plan as you go.

FREE LEARNING TOOL

Curious what“made by me”actually means?

MEET MAURICIO

A teacher who knows both sides of the learning processA teacher who understands the journey

Born in Buenos Aires, based in Amsterdam and endlessly curious about how language shapes the way we think.

I learned Dutch as an adult, studied Philosophy in Dutch and built my teaching method around the questions I had to solve for myself along the way. That outsider’s eye helps me explain what native speakers often simply “feel”.

Spanish is my mother tongue, but it’s also a language I’ve studied in depth. I know its complex grammar, its exceptions and quirks, and the logic that holds it all together.

“Reliable, patient, great teacher. Dutch is not an easy language — I put it off for 10 years. It’s now a pleasure to learn.”

PeteDutch student
